FBI files are chilling
Monday, July 25, 2005
ContraCostaTimes.com reports on the FBI and the anti-war (reality-based) citizenry.
The goal (in the 60's and 70's) was to crush public opposition to the Vietnam War and destroy an emerging civil rights movement that J. Edgar Hoover feared might produce a "Black Messiah."The prime target - the ACLU. Now I know why so many nut blogs are railing against the ACLU - they all want to be junior G-men.
For those old enough to remember those dark times, there is a chilling sense of déjà vu.
Once again, the FBI is spying on anti-war protesters. Only this time, agency officials say it is part of the war on terrorism.
Reading this post will guarantee a visit from the FBI.
